Hi guys,

Am visiting the Nation's Capital next week and will have limited free time Sunday morning and Tuesday afternoon. I am thinking about bringing a light baitcasting travel rod to see if I can get amongst some natives or do my bit to control the Redfin population. Any natives will be handled with care and returned to fight another day.

I appreciate locals will fiercely guard secret spots but general advice on places, lures and techniques to try.

I had thought about engaging the services of a guide but couldn't find one.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hey mate, went out this morning and nailed a few reddies, just using ecogear ZX blades, it is a closed Cod season but you are still able to fish for yellas

Was that shore based? How much do the blades weigh?

Blades are definately the go for redfin although they'll go after just about anything.

Heaps of snagging so I recommend using doubles instead of trebles. Any size blade up to about 2 inches will do the job and you might get lucky and pull a yellow.

LBG is a tough gig though. I've been fishing it for a long time and it is inconsistant at best. Every now and then when I'm about to give up on it for good I pull an amazing fish, but it's few and far between.
